Two men arrested, charged in October Waterford shooting

Waterford >> Two men have been arrested and charged in a shooting that happened in early October.

The shooting happened at 4:36 a.m on Oct. 6 on the 400 block of Riviera Terrace.

Responding officers were told that five to six shots had been fired at a residence on the block from a white colored vehicle that was traveling north.

Officers observed several bullet holes in the residence and a shattered front window. No one was injured in the shooting, though officers discovered one bullet traveled through the front wall of the home and into a couch in the living room.

At the time, no possible suspects could be identified. However, tips the next day identified 21-year-old Oxford resident Jose Ruben Maldonado-Deherder and Macauley Grant Harris, 30, of West Bloomfield as the suspects.

Waterford police learned that the shooting was retaliation against a 19-year-old Waterford man that lives at the Riviera Terrace residence.

Maldonado-Deherder and Harris believed the Waterford man had stolen marijuana and a cell phone several month earlier.

In late October, Waterford Police Investigators obtained arrest warrants for both suspects.

Maldonado-Deherder was identified as the shooter and was arraigned on Oct. 25 in the 51st District Court on one count of firing a gun into an occupied building, felony firearm and felon possession of a firearm.

He was given a $100,000 cash bond and remains lodged at the Oakland County Jail. He is facing other charges in neighboring communities.

Harris, the driver, was arraigned on Oct. 28 in the 51st District Court on one count of firing a gun into an occupied building. He was given a $2,500, 10 percent cash bond and released.

Harris is also facing other charges in neighboring communities. He is wearing a GPS tether as a condition of his bond.
